The invention relates to a
system for heating a sauna or
steam room, which
system includes a first heater (10) for heating the air in the room (8), wherein the first heater (10) is configured with respect to its
heating power to heat, by itself, the air in the room (8) to a temperature of 30-120 °C, preferably to a temperature of 50-110 °C, most preferably to a temperature of 70-100 °C, a second heater (20) for producing steam in the air of the room (8), wherein the second heater (20) includes a stone space (14) that is partially open in the room (8), which stone space (14) includes a
thermal mass that is configured to be heated to a temperature of 200-700 °C, preferably 300-600 °C, in order to evaporate water dispensed into the stone space (14), or wherein the second heater (20) includes a water space for storing water, which water space is configured to be heated in order to form steam from the water stored in the water space, a temperature sensor (40) for measuring the temperature of the room (8), control means for controlling the power of the first heater (10) and of the second heater (20) as a function of a selected criterion based on measurement data of the temperature sensor (40), the first heater (10) and the second heater (20) are separate heaters that are independent of each other, and the first heater (10) is a
storage heater with a storage capacity in relation to the volume of the room (8) of at least 200 Wh / m3, preferably at least 500 Wh / m3, most preferably at least 800 Wh / m3, and a
heat output of at least 200 Wh / m3, preferably at least 400Wh / m3. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.
